The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (November 30, 2018) Album • Page 412

Yes, and it won't get done in time (which is fine) so no way it comes out when they want it to

 

Good cause I think this first one might kill me. I'll need a good 6 months to recover.

 

That's not how death works

 

I mean they do have some free time in February to finish it. I could see them putting it out in June still.

The concept of it coming out in June is really cool to me because senior year feels really long so it's kinda cool that this album is the soundtrack to now and then by the time I'm graduating we could have Notes.

 

Very much in the 'Notes is more or less done but we're not talking about it right now because why the hell would we?' camp

 

Yeah they finished ABI in September lol

 

Order finally shipped!

 

Notes is probably much further along than we think. I’m guessing it’s ready for mixing before they start the tour

 

Did you get the large super duper deluxe package? I didn’t realize I got an autographed version!

 

Yep!

 

ok so, waiting for Friday (it's been a while since I haven't expected an album this much)
is this AOTY contender // as good as albums #1 and #2? thank you, spoilers are ok

 

At first I was like, yeah this is great I really like it. But now... did they make one of the best albums of the year??? I can’t stop playing this

 

they done did it

 

imo no way is notes done

(i'm trying not to get my hopes up just in case... idk, matty changes his mind)

 

I was under the impression they had so many songs for a brief inquiry that they were going to just do two albums. So the songs were pretty much there and written before the real recording sessions began

 

Same. I think that combined with some older stuff like 28 coming back, and the fact that Notes seems to fit the initial vision for the "Music For Cars" album it might have been quicker for them to finish.

 

my immediate first thought

on some "Faithfully" shit

 

"I Couldn't Be More in Love" is gewd

 

I think the one-two of "Inside Your Mind" and "I'm Not Living" is my favorite part of the record.

 

The second movement is where I have trouble. That doesn't hang together for me, especially with "Sincerity Is Scary" plopped in there.

The first 2 albums definitely worked in thirds. It's interesting how "It's Not Living" does the same job that "The Sound" does and is placed in relatively the same spot. There's a discussion to be had about how they sequence.

 

I Couldn't Be More in Love into I Always Wanna Die is gorgeous.

Also, Matty's answer to this question on the Genius page for I Couldn't Be More in Love is awesome:

Do you think you’ll rip the solo yourself when you play it live?

Oh, I’ll rip it to fuck.

 

This is easily a modern classic and probably one of the 3 best if not the best album of this decade

 

That was fast
